Replying to Avatar Comte de Sats Germain

They used to be forced on kids in school, especially in Europe. French is really Parisian French of 200 years ago - several dozen dialects got wiped out in the name of nationalism. Same with Germany mostly speaking northern German and even Bavaria barely uses their own dialect. Imo this is bad, very bad. Local language is defense of local community.

It used to be that everyone here spoke Bavarian, so speaking fluent Hochdeutsch was a sign of education and wisdom.

Now, it's increasingly the other way around.

You guys used to be a nation. Same can be said of everyone, everywhere. We all gave away the best thing we had. We all fell for a trick - that to be a nation without a state was pathetic ; but its the opposite - to be subsumed into a state but lose your nation is what's really pathetic. Its not too late.
